Verse
[D#] You got [Cb]the lights on in the [A#]afternoon
And the [B7]nights are drawn out long [D#]
And you're [Cb]kissing to cut through the [A#]gloom
With a [B7]cough drop coloured tongue [D#]
You were [Cb]sitting in the corner with the [A#]coats all piled high
And I [B7]thought you might be mine [D#]
In a [Cb]small world on an exceptionally [A#]rainy Tuesday night
In the [B7]right place and time


Chorus
When the [D#]zeros line up on the twenty [Cb]four hour clock
When you [A#]know who's calling even though the [B7]number is blocked
When you [D#]walked around your house wearing my [Cb]sky blue Lacoste
And [A#]your knee socks [B7]


Verse

[D#] Well, you [Cb]cured my January [A#]blues,
yeah, you [B7]made it all alright [D#]
I got a [Cb]feeling I might've lit the very [A#]fuse
that you [B7]were trying not to light [D#]
You were a [Cb]stranger in my phonebook I was [A#]acting like I knew
Cause I [B7]had nothing to lose [D#]
When the [Cb]winter's in full swing and your dreams [A#]just aren't coming true
Ain't it [B7]funny what you'll do?


Chorus
When the [D#]zeros line up on the twenty [Cb]four hour clock
When you [A#]know who's calling even though the [B7]number is blocked
When you [D#]walked around your house wearing my [Cb]sky blue Lacoste
And [A#]your knee socks [B7]

Bridge
[Bb]In late afternoon, the ghost [A#]in your room
That you always [D#]thought didn't approve of [Cb]you knocking boots
Never stopped you [A#]letting me get hold of the [B7]sweet spot
By the scruff of [D#]your knee socks

[D#]You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king-and-queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets you could Be My Baby

(The zeros lined up but the number's blocked)
(When you've come undone)


Chorus
When the [D#]zeros line up on the twenty [Cb]four hour clock
When you [A#]know who's calling even though the [B7]number is blocked
When you [D#]walked around your house wearing my [Cb]sky blue Lacoste
And [A#]your knee socks [B7]

When the [D#]zeros line up on the twenty [Cb]four hour clock
When you [A#]know who's calling even though the [B7]number is blocked
When you [D#]walked around your house wearing my [Cb]sky blue Lacoste
And [A#]your knee socks [B7] ⠀⠀
